It started with a 90-second video about grooming.

Rono is a grooming awareness educator, CSA survivor, and data science student at UCLA. She wanted people to know what grooming looks like — so it can stop happening.

460,000 people watched it. 1,021 left comments. Survivors who'd never told anyone. Parents terrified they wouldn't recognize the signs. Educators who didn't have the language. People who just wanted to say: me too, and I don't know what to do with it.

The comments were the most vulnerable things people had ever written online — posted in a place where anyone could see them, forever.

The platform didn't hold it. None of them do.

Facebook groups are too public. Reddit is too chaotic. Therapy is one-to-one. There's no space built for people carrying something they can't easily talk about — where trust is the design, not just a policy.

That's what likeu is. A place where you control what you share and who sees it. Where the first question isn't "what happened to you" — it's "what do you need?"

Every conversation with Dora is the beginning of your experience with likeu. We're building this with the people who need it.

likeu is founded by survivors and advocates. We're not outsiders building for you. We're building with you.
